Two New England states at the top and another, Maine, a little further down. Beyond that and the fact that there are no southern states on the list, there isn't much of a pattern. Iowa, North Dakota and Minnesota are all northern midwest states known for having bleak winters and a "let's all work together" kind of culture. Idaho and Wyoming definitely fall in your "frontier-type" category. Hawaii is obviously a pretty unique state so they're hard to group with anyone. And Utah actually has a lot in common with a couple of the states on the "worst" list.

Didn't see Michigan on either list, did you forget to type it? But I know its different to the others on the list.
Surprised Florida wasn't on the high crime rate list, as that is the state we most get to hear about here for crimes.
